General Personal Injury FAQs — Westwood Shores

• ❓What should I do if AssuranceAmerica says “You didn’t report the injury immediately.” after my Westwood Shores crash?
  Insurers like AssuranceAmerica often use lines such as “You didn’t report the injury immediately.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like tongue laceration and avulsion can be life-changing. In Westwood Shores, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a case settled during mediation — outcomes in our files include results up to 1.81M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Westwood Shores?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “The treatment timeline doesn’t make sense.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Westwood Shores allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like TMJ dysfunction from impact. Don’t accept “We’re still evaluating liability with our insured.” at face value.
• ❓Do I have to take a low offer or can we fight for a better result?
  You never have to accept a lowball. We negotiate hard with insurers, and when needed we move toward a case settled during mediation. Our case histories include results such as 2.33M. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Westwood Shores.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed..” Can a Westwood Shores personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We don’t believe the vehicle speed contributed.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Western National Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., MetLife Auto & Home) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a commuter hit in crosswalk with posterior interosseous nerve injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
